A channel hasbeen dredged from the mouth of this chamber out into deep water,and over its mouth a screen is located to keep floating objects outof the suction sluices. The discharge sluice goes clear to the faceof the bulkhead and a deflecting wall gives the hot discharged watera direction away from the entrance chamber. Near each turbine unit there are grouped a centrifugal pump withdirect-connected engine to handle the condensing- water, a wetvacuum pump direct-connected to its driving engine, a steam-driven boiler feed pump, a steam-driven oil feed pump for thestep bearing of the turbine, an accumulator to store oil under
